TCA9416 Ultra-Low-Voltage I2C Translator with Rise Time Accelerators
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
2-bit bidirectional translator for SDA and SCL lines
in I2C applications
Provides bidirectional voltage translation with no
direction pin
High-impedance output SCL_A, SDA_A, SCL_B,
SDA_B pins when OE = 0 V or VCC = 0 V
Internal 10-kΩ pull-up resistor on all SDA and SCL
pins are enabled based on respective VCC voltage
1.08 V to 3.6 V on both A and B ports
VCC Isolation feature: If either VCC input is at
GND, both ports are in the high-impedance state
(excluding pull-ups)
The TCA9416 is a 2-bit bidirectional I2C and SMBus
voltage-level translator with an output enable (OE)
input and rising and falling edge accelerators. It is
operational from 1.08 V to 3.6 V on both the A-
side and B-side. This allows the device to interface
between lower and higher logic signal levels at any of
the typical 1.2-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V supply rails.
The OE input pin is referenced to VCCA, can be
tied directly to VCCA, but it is also 3.6-V tolerant.
The OE pin can also be controlled and set to a
logic low to place all the SCL and SDA pins in a
high-impedance state, which significantly reduces the
quiescent current consumption.
•
•
•
No power-supply sequencing required: either VCCA
or VCCB can be ramped first
•
•
Low Ioff of 2.5 µA when either VCCA or VCCB = 0 V
OE input can be tied directly to VCCA or controlled
by GPIO
Latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA per JESD
78, class II
ESD Protection exceeds JESD 22
– 2500-V Human-body model (A114-B)
– 1500-V Charged-device model (C101)
Under normal I2C and SMBus configurations, the
TCA9416 is compatible with standard speeds where
the frequency of SCL is 100 kHz (Standard-mode),
400 kHz (Fast-mode), or 1 MHz (Fast-mode Plus).
•
•
The TCA9416 features internal 10-kΩ pull-up resistors
on SCL_A, SDA_A, SCL_B, and SDA_B. Additional
external pull-up resistors can be added to the bus to
reduce the total pull-up resistance and speed up rising
edges.
